Here are my patches for PhpNuke 7.3 version, but they will apply with possible minor changes, to older versions too. If you have problems with the patches, or wanna suggest better solutions, or have additional questions - post them here and discuss it with other members.
1. Look at "modules/Web_Links/index.php" line 631 for this code:
| Code: |
function viewlink($cid, $min, $orderby, $show) {
global $prefix, $db, $admin, $perpage, $module_name, $user;
if (isset($orderby)) {
$orderby = htmlspecialchars($orderby);
}
|
Now add this new code so it looks like this:
| Code: |
function viewlink($cid, $min, $orderby, $show) {
global $prefix, $db, $admin, $perpage, $module_name, $user;
$show = intval($show);
if(empty($show))
{
$show = '';
}
if (isset($orderby)) {
$orderby = htmlspecialchars($orderby);
}
|
2. Look at "modules/News/article.php" where the code begins:
| Code: |
if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}
require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);
|
Now add this new code, so it looks like this:
| Code: |
if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}
require_once("mainfile.php");
$optionbox = '';
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);
|
3. Look at "modules/Statistics/index.php" line 266 for this code:
| Code: |
function DailyStats($year,$month,$date){
global $sitename, $module_name;
include ("header.php");
title("$sitename "._STATS."");
opentable();
showHourlyStats($year,$month,$date);
|
Add this new code, so it looks like this:
| Code: |
function DailyStats($year,$month,$date){
global $sitename, $module_name;
include ("header.php");
title("$sitename "._STATS."");
opentable();
$year = intval($year);
$month = intval($month);
$date = intval($date);
showHourlyStats($year,$month,$date);
|
4. Look at "modules/Stories_Archive/index.php" line 56 for this code:
| Code: |
function show_month($year, $month, $month_l) {
global $prefix, $user_prefix, $db, $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2, $user, $cookie, $sitename, $multilingual, $language, $module_name, $articlecomm;
include("header.php");
title(""._STORIESARCHIVE."");
title("$sitename: $month_l $year");
|
Now add this new code, so it looks like this:
| Code: |
function show_month($year, $month, $month_l) {
global $prefix, $user_prefix, $db, $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2, $user, $cookie, $sitename, $multilingual, $language, $module_name, $articlecomm;
$year = intval($year);
$month = htmlentities($month);
$month_l = htmlentities($month_l);
include("header.php");
title(""._STORIESARCHIVE."");
title("$sitename: $month_l $year");
|
5. Look at "modules/Surveys/comments.php" line 575 for this code:
| Code: |
function reply ($pid, $pollID, $mode, $order, $thold) {
include("header.php");
global $user, $cookie, $datetime, $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2, $bgcolor3, $AllowableHTML, $anonymous, $prefix, $anonpost, $dbi, $module_name, $db;
$pid = intval($pid);
$pollID = intval($pollID);
if ($anonpost == 0 AND !is_user($user)) {
OpenTable();
|
Now add this new code, so it looks like this:
| Code: |
function reply ($pid, $pollID, $mode, $order, $thold) {
include("header.php");
global $user, $cookie, $datetime, $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2, $bgcolor3, $AllowableHTML, $anonymous, $prefix, $anonpost, $dbi, $module_name, $db;
$pid = intval($pid);
$pollID = intval($pollID);
$order = htmlentities($order);
$thold = htmlentities($thold);
$mode = htmlentities($mode);
if ($anonpost == 0 AND !is_user($user)) {
OpenTable();
|
6. Look at "mainfile.php" and find the beginning of this code:
| Code: |
//Union Tap
//Copyright Zhen-Xjell 2004 http://nukecops.com
//Beta 3 Code to prevent UNION SQL Injections
unset($matches);
unset($loc);
if (preg_match("/([OdWo5NIbpuU4V2iJT0n]{5}) /", rawurldecode($loc=$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]), $matches)) {
die("YOU ARE SLAPPED BY <a href=\"http://nukecops.com\">NUKECOPS</a> BY USING '$matches[1]' INSIDE '$loc'.");
}
|
Now change this code, like so:
| Code: |
//Union Tap
//Copyright Zhen-Xjell 2004 http://nukecops.com
//Beta 3 Code to prevent UNION SQL Injections
unset($matches);
unset($loc);
if (preg_match("/([OdWo5NIbpuU4V2iJT0n]{5}) /", rawurldecode($loc=$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]), $matches)) {
die("YOU ARE SLAPPED BY <a href=\"http://nukecops.com\">NUKECOPS</a> BY USING '$matches[1]' INSIDE '" . htmlentities($loc) . "'");
}
|
That's all! You have just made your website a little bit more secure!
Feedback is welcome!  |

Thanks for sharing, those look good, i posted a few more at karakas' site mainly concerning the downloads module (unquoted and unsanitized sid variable) and an unsanitized base_64 line in modules.php.
Again thanks, i will include yours in my patches with proper credits of course. |

| For now, I think most of the big security flaws in PhpNuke have already been discovered and patched. That's my opinion - because I am searching PhpNuke's source code for more bugs, but the work gets harder with every day |

Awesome work; I am going to incorporate these fixes posthaste! As a Window developer, I know it's hard to hunt for bugs, but it is easier if the code is not yours! I hope that these fixes have been suggested to the guys at phpnuke... I think some of these issue have been around for quite a few versions... |
